Hey Philly, we’re dishing out some tough love!
We want to make sure you stay safe while we create a brand-new, state-of-the-art Delaware River Trail. So, all you biker, jogger, power-walking rebels beware, because we’re laying down the law - PAY ATTENTION TO THE BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN DETOUR SIGNS ALONG COLUMBUS BOULEVARD! (For those of you who adhere to the safety standards, gold stars all around!)
The signs aren’t decoration-- they're there to protect you and the awesome contractors who are diligently working to transform the Trail into a safe place for pedestrian and biker-friendly travel.
We’re doing this because we love you, Philly. So, do us a favor and read the signs and follow the detour. We know it’s an inconvenience but a little patience now will pay off in the long run. Trust us, the Trail will be amazing. Just look at how far we’ve already come already:

So, the next time you’re in recreational bliss along Columbus Boulevard and you come across one of our detour signs…
-
Stop in the name of safety and read the signs before you take another step.
-
Abide, Abide, Abide to the rules, and avoid active work zones and closed travel lanes.
-
When you see a sign, open up your eyes and follow the bicycle and pedestrian detour. Northbound cyclists are not to use Columbus Boulevard.
Just a little while longer, Philly, and we’ll enjoy physically-distanced high-fives and fist bumps at the Trail’s ribbon-cutting in 2021. Until then, follow the guidelines outlined above and learn all about the Central Delaware River Trail and other awesome projects coming down the pike!
